Details of the Scheme of Arrangement
Addressing shareholders at the meeting, Mr. S. N. Subrahmanyam outlined the key terms and rationale of the proposed scheme. The Realty Undertaking of Larsen & Toubro is proposed to be transferred to LTRPL as a going concern through a slump sale at an enterprise value of ₹6300 Crs. The consideration will be discharged through the issuance of fully paid-up equity shares by LTRPL to the company. LTRPL will continue to remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, with no change in ownership, voting rights, or shareholder interests as a consequence of the transaction.
Key highlights of the scheme as presented to shareholders include:
- All assets, liabilities, contracts, approvals, licences, employees and business operations associated with the Realty business will transfer to LTRPL in accordance with the scheme.
- Employees will continue without interruption of service, with all existing benefits protected.
- Customer relationships, ongoing projects and contractual arrangements will continue seamlessly.
- The Realty business has an estimated development potential of approximately 71 million square feet across key markets including Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Bengaluru, NCR and Chennai.
- During FY 2025-26, the L&T Realty Business Unit achieved pre-sales of approximately ₹10,000 Crs and contributed about 0.59% of the consolidated revenue.
- The proposed structure is intended to provide greater flexibility to access growth capital, attract strategic partners and engage with sector-focused investors.

How might the separation of the Realty business into LTRPL facilitate future equity fundraising or strategic partnerships without diluting L&T's core engineering valuation?
What is the expected timeline for LTRPL to seek independent listing or regulatory approvals following the NCLT's final sanction of the scheme?
Could this structural change signal a broader strategy by L&T to spin off other non-core assets to streamline its consolidated balance sheet?
